Our intention is to enhance the lives of people, of all ages and from diverse walks of life, by cultivating their awareness of the freeing and empowering experience of living in the present moment. When we speak of cultivating or practicing mindful awareness, we are also referring to developing a greater awareness of what one is experiencing in the present moment with all of one's senses.

This. This. This.

Punishment and consequences are NOT the same.
__________________________

A Punishment is when you want a child to feel suffering,
exclusion,
fear,
or despair,

because they made a "bad choice," or had a "negative behavior."
________________

A Punishment Looks Like--

*taking away toys arbitrarily,

*yelling or insulting them

*time outs with no emotional regulation tools or co-regulation,

*or s***king (please DON'T s***k).
_______________________________

A mindfully chosen consequence is how you help to shape a child's environment,

to prevent danger and
help encourage pro-social behavior and LEARNING .
__________________

A consequence Looks like--

*asking them to hold your hand when you cross a parking lot,
so they won't bolt.

*ensuring you take safe foods,
to the restaurant where they
might not like the options,
so they can practice etiquette and conversation.

*rotating small bins of toys or books,
so there aren't too many to leave
on the floor, when they struggle
to tidy up...
and gently helping them
learn to tidy.
